What it isYou study the principles and systems behind how economies work, from personal finance and business decisions to national and global trade. This three-year degree covers economic theory and real-world applications, giving you a broader education than a specialized business program. It suits people curious about how markets, governments, and money shape society, and who want flexibility to move into business, policy, law, or further study afterward.An Honours BA lets you specialize in one or more subjects from the humanities, sciences, and social sciences while building a broad education across different fields. You choose your major — such as English, Anthropology, Computer Science, or Creative Writing — and take courses in that area alongside electives that let you explore other disciplines. This program suits people who want depth in a subject they care about but also value exposure to different ways of thinking and fields of knowledge.
